Bean Lifecycle

Bean Lifecycle — The sequence through which a container instantiates, injects, initializes, proxies, exposes, and eventually destroys a managed component.

Software-Engineering Context

Lifecycle ordering matters when constructors, post-processors, proxy creation, @PostConstruct, destruction callbacks, and external resources interact. Initialization side effects should be deterministic and avoid hidden network or database work unless the startup contract explicitly requires it.
